Immediate GOP spin: "He was 'a man' for admitting it!"

[Subdivisions]

Oh brother.

Not an hour before Sanford appeared, Sen. Jake Knotts was excoriating Sanford. Now...

"I'm going to do anything in power to help him. If he can step up and be a man like that and admit he's wrong, I will do everything I can to help him." - Sen. Jake Knotts (R-Dist. No. 23, Lexington Co., SC), a heretofore fierce opponent of Sanford.

And the media is in lock-step with the GOP spin-masters. And the spin is...he's a hero.

Anyone monitoring Limpballs?

1. He admitted because his wife

was gonna sell him down the river.

6. Sanford is a DICK. A slimey piece of crap.

If he was my husband, I'd divorce him immediately.

2. How long before they blame TEH GHEYZ?

3. They are such jerks. It is just too much.

I can't stand their excuses.

[tridim]

4. And Rush's response: "Republicans like sex too"

and BTW, "Clinton's penis, Clinton's penis, Clinton's penis!"

Really lame guys, even I know you can do better than that.

5. So...up until this afternoon he was a woman?

7. Jesus, he got caught!

What a pathetic little worm.

[underpants]

8. Yeah after "a walk in the woods", the App.Trail, Atlanta airport, NOT the Atlanta airport

the Atlanta airport again
"South America"
Argentina specifically (finally)
and then.......wait for it.... dove hunting

yeah he admitted it-when he had to

[sabra]

9. he got caught 5 months ago...

[SemiCharmedQuark]

10. Yeah, they're trying that shit on MSNBC now.

[Marr]

11. Good! I am very happy to hear it. Let them take on a bit more balast.

Defending someone like Sanford isn't free, and I have no doubt that most of these politicians would prefer to just cut him loose and continue on. Instead, their party will get a little more mud on it. Fine by me. Defend him all you like, GOP.
